Why Do You Need To Impress These People Again?

John BoyUk, 29 March

"If you should ever turn your will to things outside your control in order to impress someone, be sure that you have wrecked your whole purpose in life. Be content, then, to be a philosopher in all that you do, and if you wish also to be seen as one, show yourself first that you are and you will succeed."
— Epictetus, Enchiridion

Today's meditation is a reminder that you don't need to impress anyone. I really like the quote from "Fight Club." "We buy things we don't need, to impress people we don't like."

Plenty of people on social media posting massive greens looking to impress people and draw them in to buy a special place in their latest Telegram or What's App group for a monthly fee! Then there are those such as Ben Michaels, Glenn Kirkham, the Badger, etc. etc. that want to sell you their ebooks, systems, strategies and join their groups!

You don't need to impress anybody apart from yourself! Keep sticking to the plan, using your strategies that work for you. By all means post a winning trade in the appropriate TTM room to encourage others of what can be achieved when you put in the hard work. That I think is inspiring for others, knowing that certain strategies can work.

Stay patient, disciplined and in the correct mindset and do what you do, day in day out, rinse and repeat to become the best that you possibly can.

This is the way to become consistent in your trading so "why do you need to impress these people again?"
